b'We talk about fossils a lot on this podcast \\u2013 every episode, in fact \\u2013 but we rarely take the time to discuss how fossils get the way they are. This is a crucial subject, because the fossilization process is a filter, and nothing comes through the filter unaltered, and many things don\\u2019t come through at all. In this episode, we talk about how fossils typically form, how we study this process, and why it\\u2019s so important for paleontologists to understand fossilization.\\nIn the news: giant croc tracks, injured dino footprints, evolution in cities, and ancient snakey-ness.\\nTime markers:Intro & Announcements: 00:00:00News: 00:04:00Main discussion, Part 1: 00:41:00Main discussion, Part 2: 01:16:00Patron question: 01:52:00\\nCheck out our blog for bonus info and pictures:http://commondescentpodcast.wordpress.com/\\nJoin us on Patreon to support the podcast and enjoy bonus content! https://www.patreon.com/commondescentpodcast\\xa0\\nOr make a one-time donation via PayPal: https://tinyurl.com/4c68u4hp\\nFind merch at the Common Descent Store! http://zazzle.com/common_descent\\nJoin the Common Descent Discord server! https://discord.gg/CwPBxdh9Ev\\nFollow and Support us on: Twitter: https://twitter.com/CommonDescentPCFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/commondescentpodcastInstagram: @commondescentpodcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCePRXHEnZmTGum2r1l2mduwPodBean: https://commondescentpodcast.podbean.com/ iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-common-descent-podcast/id1207586509?mt=2\\nYou can email us at commondescentpodcast(at)gmail.comOr send us physical mail at:The Common Descent Podcast1735 W State of Franklin Rd.
